Bundesliga - statistics & facts

Known for its passionate supporters and 50+1 ownership model, the Bundesliga represents the highest level of professional soccer in Germany. Forming part of Europe’s Big Five, leading Bundesliga clubs rank among the world’s best, with the UEFA Champions League being won by a German side on eight occasions. In 2023/24, Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen won the league for the first time, with Stuttgart finishing second.

What is the Bundesliga’s annual revenue?

In 2021/22, the combined revenue of all Bundesliga clubs amounted to over 3.6 billion euros, representing a small increase on the previous season. Alongside this increased revenue came increased spending, with Bundesliga clubs’ combined expenditure in the same season coming in at 3.8 billion euros. Individually, Bayern Munich’s revenue amounted to 654 million euros, and the club certainly stands out when compared to the rest of the league: in 2023, Bayern Munich’s brand value amounted to nearly 1.1 billion euros, significantly more than any other German club.

Which team has won the most Bundesliga titles?

Bayern Munich has also historically dominated German soccer like few other elite clubs. Not only has the Bavarian side won the most German soccer titles, it also has the most DFL Pokal wins. This dominance has drawn criticism from some – since 2012/13, the Bundesliga has had the fewest unique title winners out of any major European soccer league. However, one area that Bayern does not rank highest is match attendance, with Borussia Dortmund having the highest average attendance in the Bundesliga in 2022/23.
